I have the name of the pub as the "Forester's Arms" but the only photo I have of this so far gives the name simply as the "Forester."

It is suggested by Isabel Hatcher that the street was renamed Walmer Terrace before 1939. She believes it was on the corner with Earl Street. Now gone - the name probably acknowledged in Earl Rise today. I found the "Foresters" on a list of Charles Beasley Ltd pubs so I guess William Banister was a tenant.
